Marvel Snap goes offline in the United States in the wake of TikTok ban

Marvel Snap's US Removal Following TikTok Ban

The weekend brought unwelcome news for Marvel Snap fans in the United States. Following the TikTok ban, publisher ByteDance, also the parent company of Marvel Snap developer Second Dinner, has pulled the popular card game from US app stores. This appears to be a form of protest against the ban.

The TikTok ban, driven by concerns from US politicians about its potential as a "foreign adversary controlled application," extends to all apps published by ByteDance and its subsidiaries. ByteDance's action could be interpreted as a calculated move, leveraging the ensuing fan outrage to highlight the ban's broader implications.

The removal of Marvel Snap, along with other ByteDance apps, is likely to fuel further controversy. While the political impact remains uncertain, the lack of advance warning suggests a deliberate attempt to maximize fan reaction and generate public pressure.
